The restaurant, 120 S. College Ave., is where Rachel and her husband, Christopher, dined for fancy date nights in college. The couple got engaged there in October 2006.

The Woods returned on the due date of their first child in 2014 after hearing that the molded gelato called spumoni can induce labor — she gave birth two days later.

The family has been back multiple times, always taking a picture just outside the restaurant.

“We were hoping to do it every year until our boys were grown,” Rachel said. “Every time you go to Bisetti’s, it’s a special treat.”

The Woods are far from alone in having a personal connection to Bisetti’s. After news broke of the restaurant’s impending closure on Tuesday night, hundreds shared on Facebook their own special moments at the storied eatery.

Briana and Kyle Kunau, who now live in Castle Rock, had their first date at the restaurant in 2010, got engaged there in 2013 and celebrated their first wedding anniversary there in 2015.

Like the Woods, the couple has a collection of photos from different dining experiences at Bisetti’s.

“We will have to drive up for one more memory,” Briana said.

Bonnie Ward Benham got engaged at Bisetti’s in 1993. Her brother hosted a wedding rehearsal at the restaurant in 1981 and another brother worked at the restaurant in the early 1980s.

“It's meant a lot to us over the years,” Benham said.

Even couples who have moved out of state still vividly remember their experiences at Bisetti’s.

Matt McDonough and his wife moved to Marblehead, Massachusetts, shortly after graduating from Colorado State University. The couple, who met as freshman in 1988, had many of their early dates at Bisetti's.

“We still talk about the white chocolate raspberry cheesecake,” McDonough said. “It is very sad to hear even many miles away.”

So while Bisetti’s will close soon, the memories of the restaurant are sure to live on for decades to come.
